The 2022 PS, from Quintanilla de Arriba in Valladolid, Ribera del Duero, is defined by its oak aging. Coconut, vanilla, cedar and balsamic notes dominate the nose, joined by precise plum and herbal nuances. The palate is plush and creamy, with polished, worked tannins. It delivers layered fruit and oak. A modern classic for the region, marrying power with poise.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The bottled 2022 PSI follows the character of the sample I tasted last year: it's clean, expressive and open. It's perfumed, elegant, floral and quite attractive and does not transmit any heat. In fact, it has contained ripeness and around 13.8% alcohol. They have improved the selection tremendously, and the wine has gained in precision; it's better each year. There is something that reminds me of the old vintages of Pesquera (1994 and before), with notes of orange peel and aromatic herbs. It's medium-bodied, has fine tannins and very good freshness. Only 20% of the volume matured in barrel and the rest in large oak vats (2,000-, 5,000- and 10,000-liter ones), and the élevage is quite respectful of the wine... It's detailed and hand-crafted, real wine in good volume, coming from 700 plots of old vines, all in all around 8% Garnacha. Despite the conditions of the year, this has to be one of the finest vintages of PSI.
